Abstract

Im Zusammenhang mit der Ausbildung eines versenkbaren Festdaches für Cabrio-Fahrzeuge, welches im Wesentlichen aus einer den gesamten Fahrgastraum (1) übergreifenden starren Dachhaube (2) und eine von dieser unabhängig verstellbare Heckfensterscheibe (3) besteht, wobei die Heckfensterscheibe (3) zwischen einer aufgerichteten, nach oben aus der Fahrzeugkarosseriekontur heraus verschwenkten in eine in die Fahrzeugkarosserie abgesenkten Stellung und die Dachhaube (2) zwischen einer den Fahrgastraum (1) überdeckenden Schließlage und einer nach hinten verfahrenen Öffnungsstellung bzw. Staustellung hin und herbewegbar sind, wird zur Lösung der Aufgabe trotz einer baulich einfachen Gestaltung der Festdachanbindung an die Fahrzeugkarosserie eine leichte Handhabbarkeit des versenkbaren Festdaches zu gewährleisten und gleichzeitig bei völlig abgesenktem Festdach noch einen ausreichenden nutzbaren Innenraum des Kofferraumes (4) beizubehalten vorgeschlagen, daß der Kofferraumdeckel den rückwärtigen Bereich der Dachhaube umgreifend an oder wenigstens im Bereich der B-Säule (15) an der Fahrzeugkarosserie angelenkt ist und daß ferner der Abstand zwischen der Hinterseite der hinteren Dachpfosten (16) der Dachhaube (2) und der B-Säule (15) der Fahrzeugkarosserie wenigstens der Höhe des Festdaches entspricht.
